AREA CLEANING
The easiest way to clean the grill is to clean it immediately
after turning
off the flame when
cooking
is completed.
Wear a barbeque
mitt to protect
your hand from the heat and steam.
Dip a brass bristle barbeque
brush in tap water and scrub the hot grill. Dip the brush
frequently
in the water. Steam, created
as water contacts
the hot grill, assists the cleaning
process
by softening
any food particles.
The food
oarticles
will fall and burn. Never immerse
a hot part in water.
GRILL BURNER
CLEANING
,, Be sure the tank valve and the control
knobs are _nthe OFF position.
Make sure the grill
is cool.
,, Clean the exterior
of the burner with a wire brush. Clear stubborn
scale with a metal
scraper. Clear any clogged
ports with a straightened
paper clip. Never use a wooden
toothpick
since it may break off and clog the port.
,, Please note that if insects or other obstructions
are blocking
the flow of gas through
the
burner, you wilt need to call Consumer
Affairs.
VERY IMPORTANT:
The orifice of the valve must be located
in the center of the burner
section after removal and cleaning.
Otherwise,
it may cause serious bodily
injury and
property
damage.
Swing the burner slightly after replacing
to check whether
it has been
installed
properly.
GREASE TRAY CLEANING
The grease tray should be emptied,
wiped down periodically,
and washed
in a mild detergent
and warm water solution. A small amount of sand may be placed in the bottom of the grease
tray to absorb the grease.
